Allegations of Sexual
Abuse in NZ |
|
The Dominion Post Police now believe that an
attempted kidnapping of an 11-year-old boy in Havelock North on Saturday did
not take place. The boy told police a man grabbed
him when he left Animalz pet shop and tried to force him into a car. The boy
kicked the man in the shins and ran off. "The events that allegedly
took place on Saturday appear not to have happened. While the boy may have
seen a man who fitted the description he gave police, we have established
that the attempted kidnap did not take place," Detective Paul Buckley
said. There had been some
inconsistencies in the boy's version of events. Staff at the pet shop and the
boy's friends had also been spoken to. Police would not be taking any
further action, Mr Buckley said. |
